COUNTRY singer Waylon Jennings has been laid to rest following a private graveside service.

Jennings, whose hits included Good-Hearted Woman and Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys, and sang the theme tune to the Dukes Of Hazzard TV series, died on Wednesday at his Arizona home.

He had fought a long battle with diabetes-related health problems. He was 64.

Jennings was buried at Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. He had requested a quiet funeral without fanfare.
